[private;]

[a frustrated sigh.]

Things are compounding again. How annoying.

[tap. tap. tap.]

What a miserable little world. Red-Eyed Zelman, still caught in a cage?

It's disgusting. Cain would have a laugh.

[......tap. tap. ...tap.]

[spoken simply, no particular tone attached.]

What is a king without a kingdom?

[workaphilic]

Feeling philosophical tonight, I see.

[exanimatus]

An unfortunate side-effect of getting old, I believe.

[workaphilic]

Apparently.

Your choice if you want to listen to them babble on, though.

[exanimatus]

It's not really 'listening'.

Do you have something else to suggest?

[workaphilic]

Oh, no. Just making an observation.

[exanimatus]

Then your observation has been recognized. Soon to be filed away and promptly ignored along with all the other useless things I've heard tonight.

[workaphilic]

[Oh, one of those days? Now he just sounds amused.]

You were the one who asked. What else could you possibly have expected?

[exanimatus]

From this? At least one good conversation, which I've found.

From you? [something like a 'hmph'.] About what I got.

[workaphilic]

Good. Wouldn't want you to be disappointed. I'm not in the habit of chasing hypotheticals.

[exanimatus]

And yet, here you are. Is this a cry for attention?

[movement, a shrug.] I'm afraid I'm out of literal facts at the moment.

[workaphilic]

More like indulging one. Fortunately for me, though, I've a few facts to spare.

[exanimatus]

Hmph. [whoops, mood destroyed. B(] And how have those been for you?

[workaphilic]

Oh, they've been good enough for the time being. I needed the entertainment.

[exanimatus]

Well, with how restless you are... I'd hope they don't lose their charm too quickly.

[workaphilic]

That's the trouble, really. Wouldn't be fun if it wasn't a bit transient.

[exanimatus]

I think that's what hobbies are for.

[workaphilic]

Building model trains isn't quite as exciting, unfortunately.
